    After the civil engineering examination, Lu Qi went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and asked the emperor to preside over the palace examination. The emperor was obviously in a very good mood. However, Lu Qi learned from Wang Jien's words why the emperor was in a good mood. It was the marriage between Xiaoyan and Prince Ji, which made the emperor happy.  Most of the emperor's relatives were very satisfied.  Xiaoyan went to the palace to meet her husband's family. Her beauty, gentleness and courtesy made King Ji's maternal elders very happy. Xiaoyan's importance to Lu Tianfeng and her marriage to King Ji because of their mutual love made them happy.  Most of the haze that shrouded the emperor's family had dissipated, and Xiaoyan clearly understood the great significance of the family protection amulet.  Although the emperor was weak, under Lu Qi's repeated requests, he agreed to preside over the palace examination. After the palace examination was scheduled, King Ji married Xiaoyan. When Lu Qi came to Kaifeng Mansion, he talked to his younger sister in Prince Yu's Mansion and knew that  The younger sister likes Prince Ji, so Lu Qi also wants the younger sister to get married.  After marrying his younger sister at Prince Yu's Mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture, Lu Qi returned to Chang'an City. He only stayed in Chang'an City for ten days before leading an army of 300,000 people to the north. This time he went north to marry Zhe Xiangyue.  The second is to inspect the military strength and people's livelihood in the north, especially the second reason, which is something Lu Qi must do that cannot be delayed.  Before leaving Chang'an City, Lu Qi wrote a guilty apology letter to his mother and his lover in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that he had to go north to strengthen his rule. The victory of Dingguo Gong Yang Ye and Fuzhou Zhe's family certainly eliminated the Liao army.  Although there is foreign invasion, there is also the possibility of establishing an independent country, so Lu Qi wants to visit the grassland in person to scare away the unstable factors in the north.  Three hundred thousand Baling troops marched north and just left Chang'an City. Lu Qi sent people to the Xia Kingdom to threaten the Xia Kingdom and surrender to the Dayu Empire.  The king was demoted to the king of Pingxia County, and Lu Qi tended to be gentle towards the Pingxia party members. He did not need to seize the Pingxia grassland by force. As long as he surrendered and became a vassal, he would naturally integrate into the Dayu Empire step by step in the future.  When the army marched to Shizhou, the envoys from the Xia Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom's envoys came to see them. The Xia Kingdom accepted Lu Qi's surrender conditions and presented the letter of surrender and the national seal in exchange for Pingxia Protectorate and Pingxia Commandery.  After the king's official seal, Lu Qi ordered Pingxia Duhufu to send out 80,000 troops to accompany him northward to escort him. After the "Xia Kingdom" envoy returned, the king of Pingxia County sent 80,000 troops to join Lu Qi's army and go north.  Five days after Lu Qi's army stopped in Shizhou, Xiaodie and Xiaoqing suddenly arrived in Shizhou. Lu Qi was naturally happy. Xiaodie said that he promised to fold Xiangyue and bless her on her wedding, so he rushed from Shidai County.  , tell Lu Qi that all his relatives in Shidai County are well.  Nearly 400,000 troops arrived in Linzhou. The governor of Linzhou was the head of the Yang family. He led a crowd to greet Lu Qi and expressed that Linzhou was willing to join the imperial court and serve as an official in the future. Lu Qi accepted the assignment and named the head of the Yang family as Duke of Lin.  He served as the governor of Linzhou, but all the 30,000 troops of Linzhou Yang's army went to Yang Ye's command, and they were considered to belong to the imperial court.  Lu Qi stationed in Linzhou for one night, and continued northward the next day. When he arrived in Fuzhou, the head of the Zhe family in Fuzhou, Zhe Yuxun, was granted the title of governor of Fuzhou, and the governor of Yong'an Army led his troops to meet Lu Qi twenty miles away.  , Zhe Xiangyue also accompanied him.  Lu Qi met the Fuzhou Zhe clan in the army. He saw that Zhe Yuxun was about fifty years old, tall, with a ruddy complexion and a beard, but he was a brave man who was getting stronger with age.  After accepting Zhe's visit, Lu Qi dismounted and helped Zhe Yuxun up, then returned the greeting: "Tianfeng pays homage to uncle." Zhe Yuxun was startled and said hurriedly: "I don't dare to accept it." Lu Qi smiled and said: "  Uncle, there is no need to be separated. Xiangyue and I are an unmarried couple, and we are loyal brothers to Zhe Wei. It is only right for me to respect your uncle." Zhe Yuxun stood up and said, "It is my honor to be promoted by your highness." Lu Qi.  Ping He said: "Uncle, I once told Xiangyue that in the future, the Zhe clan in Fuzhou would set up a Protectorate's Palace. From now on, Fuzhou and Shengzhou would set up a Protectorate's Palace in Hequ. The military government could be autonomous by the Zhe clan.  However, the imperial court will serve as the censor and transfer envoy of the Duhufu to properly balance the financial and military resources of the Duhufu. If the Duhufu has a lot of income, it will pay taxes to the court. When there is a natural disaster or military disaster,  If the income is insufficient, the imperial court will provide support. Can uncle accept it?" Zhe Yuxun hesitated and said, "I am grateful for your highness's trustworthy offer, but the Zhe family has always been in charge of Fuzhou, Daizhou and Shengzhou.  " Lu Qidao: "The location of Daizhou is not suitable for belonging to the Duhufu. However, this time we were able to defeat the Liao army and conquered all of Yunzhou and Shengzhou. The Zhe family is meritorious. Shuozhou is outside Yanmen Pass and was originally part of the Yan Kingdom.  The land is adjacent to the prefecture. Can I transfer Shuozhou to the Hequ Protectorate?" "I thank your highness for your tolerance." Zhe Yuxun accepted it knowingly.  Lu Qi nodded with a smile and said, "One more thing. I have already sealed brother Weizhong as the King of Zhelan County. How about he come back to Shengzhou to guard him in the future." "Of course, Wei Zhong will be the next head of the Zhe family in the future.  This has been discussed by the clan." Zhe Yuxun replied immediately.  Lu Qiwei?, then smiled, turned to look at Zhe Xiangyue, and said: "Uncle, I promised Xiangyue that I would get married on the grassland in the future. Yunzhou is adjacent to Shengzhou and Shuozhou. It is the place I designated for the royal palace. The palace is  My uncle should know about the land. Please ask my uncle to send someone to marry Xiangyue to Yunzhou to marry me." "I obey," Zhe Yuxun responded respectfully. Zhe Xiangyue gave Lu Qi a shy look.  Standing with downcast eyes.  Arriving outside Fuzhou City with Zheshi, Lu Qi stayed outside the city for the night, while Xiaodie and Xiaoqing went into the city to stay with Zhe Xiangyue and pay a visit to Zheshi's maternal elders.  After Xiaodie and Xiaoqing returned the next day, Lu Qi's army broke out of camp and marched northeast, passing Shuozhou to Yunzhou, entering Yunzhou four days later, and arrived at Yunzhong County (Datong), the prefecture of Yunzhou, in the afternoon. Now it is  Yunzhong Mansion is directly under the jurisdiction of the inner court of Chang'an City.  Yunzhou is very famous in history. It was the place where the Central Plains dynasty fought with the northern nomads. Emperor Sui Yang and Li Yuan during the Sui and Tang Dynasties both visited the Yunzhou area and were almost captured by the Turks. However, now they are fighting against the Turks.  The main battlefield of the endless wars in the Liao Kingdom.  Although Yunzhou was designated by Lu Qi as the land of the royal palace, it did not affect the defense operations of the northern military. The rear base camp of Dingguogong Yang Ye's military force was in Yunzhong City, so Lu Qi's army arrived outside Yunzhong City, and Yang Ye  Already waiting with other officials, Lu Qi met with Yang Ye and other officials and generals in the army.  Lu Qi met Yang Ye for the first time. He saw that Yang Ye was in his fifties, with half-white beard and hair, and a weathered and resolute appearance. He was very similar to Yang Yanzhao. Yang Ye greeted him respectfully, and the leader from Fuzhou Zhe clan also paid respectful tribute.  After that, we went to Yunzhong City and drank together.  After the banquet, Lu Qi and Yang Ye elaborated on the battle with the Liao army. They learned that after the Liao army suffered successive defeats, internal strife broke out between the commanders.  The prince-in-law led the remaining 80,000 troops away in anger. Therefore, the Liao army had no choice but to give up the war. Yang Ye and the Zhe family took advantage of the victory and occupied the Fengzhou prairie north of Shengzhou, which was the surrender of the Tang Dynasty.  City territory, and Lu Qi had already obtained good results, so he gave Yang Ye the official position of Fengzhou Defense Envoy.  Three days later, Lu Qi went out of Yunzhong City to greet Zhe Xiangyue, and met the escort team ten miles away. Lu Qi was naturally wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and a beaded crown, while Zhe Xiangyue was also riding a horse, dressed in party-like women's attire.  With her hair rolled up in a bun, a flower hat on her head, and five long strings of pearls hanging around her neck, she met Lu Qi, feeling shy and affectionate. Lu Qi rode the horse over, stretched out his hand to hug Zhe Xiangyue's horse, and let Zhe Xiangyue lean towards her.  He sat in front of him, then turned around on his horse and headed back to Yunzhong City.  In Yunzhong City, Lu Qi and Zhe Xiangyue got married again with Han rites. Afterwards, they drank and rejoiced with the congratulatory officials and generals. In Yunzhong City, there were many generals from the Yan region. They were warmed by King Yu's generosity and equal treatment. The north  The soldiers have a clear distinction between love and hate. If you are a friend, then you are a good person who is worthy of your heart.  Lu Qi patrolled the Yunzhou area for fifteen days. Ten days later, he went east to Youzhou and patrolled the Youzhou area for more than ten days. He originally wanted to go back to Youzhou, but after thinking about it, Lu Qi took 50,000 cavalry with him.  The army went to Yingzhou to inspect the Fu army, but by the time Lu Qi returned to Chang'an City from the north, it was already late autumn and early winter.
